Other birds that are likely to be spotted include marbled godwits, royal terns and brown pelicans plus a discussion about the breeding, biology, nesting and courtship behaviors along with some of the finer points of shorebird identification. Meet in the parking lot at 122nd street at 9 a.m. Reservations needed by May 2; call the Wetlands Institute at 368-1211. Cost is $6 members; $10 nonmembers.
